This is a meta comment, but I think it's extraordinary that we're only 15ish years from the first smartphone release and we've already reached the "boring" incremental improvement phase for these tiny pocket superco

I wish I could up vote this multiple times. I've received so many "heavy" recommendations in my 20s and 30s, from people who read (at most) 1-2 books per year. Some people I know have stopped reading altogether, since they ca

Hah, fixed that typo. Thank you! Just added the Poppy Wars series to my list as well.

The #BookTok category in my library is my go-to for fresh reads. This year alone, I've already devoured: * They Both Die at the End, Adam Silvera * Books #1-5 of Loise Penny's Gamache series (detective serial set in rural Montreal

Congrats on the launch! I've seen this UI style become more popular, and I'm wondering if there's a name for it? E.g. "material design" is immediately recognizable, and I'm curious if this style comes from a si

Some tips/tricks/tidbits: * Open a draft PR early in the process with a Request for Comment [RFC] tag. Explain your goal/approach in words, then follow up with code. * Be succinct. * Provide minimal viable examples and build

My startup https://printnanny.ai/ provides monitoring/automation SaaS for 3D printers, but most venture capitalists I've met (including YC partners) categorize PrintNanny as a hardware startup. I offer Raspberry P

I'm not trying to poke the bear by saying this, but I wonder if you'd still believe this after speaking to 100 women from different cities, backgrounds, and walks of life. Women aren't a monoculture.

Just came here to say don't give up, like you pointed out the current wave of dating apps aren't optimized for long-term relationships. VC-backed apps have to optimize for retention and revenue per user. I remember the previous er

What specific problems are you hoping a CPA will solve for you? For professional services, I'll usually try Yelp if I can't find a referral. Go to startup/small business owner meetups in your area to kvetch with founders, and

Absolutely, see: https://xkcd.com/856/ This "glitch" is a short-circuit pathway from the input token to a result that makes statistical sense to the model's representation of the world, but very little s

Just saw this, sorry! Hope your job search is going well though. I'd try chatting with recruiters on LinkedIn until you find one that clicks, so you'll be motivated to work with them. Even if a recruiter doesn't have an oppor

That setup is freakin' awesome! I love the "get it done" energy behind going out and getting more than a dozen smart locks to test your work. None of these smart lock vendors would be motivated to build an API + test against

I wrote some Jboss 5 code in 2009 (ish) that JUST hit the end of Red Hat's Extended Life Support in 2022. JBoss 5 EoL was announced in 2016, but you can purchase 5-6 years of critical security fixes with Red Hat's ELS. That's

No, but this sounds really cool! I run a Discord for 3D printing / Makers, so if you figure this out the community would love to see the journey. https://discord.gg/sf23bk2hPr

Defects in 3D print jobs are usually usually related to model design, slicing parameter decisions, and occasionally a printer part needs replacement/servicing (like belts). So far, firmware crashing hasn't been an issue. I'

Oh, one more thing to keep in mind: job applications via careers page or online application are the lowest in priority/prestige for most companies. Get a referral/introduction from a current employee. Look through their roster, fi

Yeah, I've seen startups do this. I wouldn't attribute it to malice, just inexperience. Keep applying and remember finding a good job is a numbers game! A startup I worked for wanted to collect applications for all jobs it might

I have a Prusa MK3S and Mini+. The MK3S is especially reliable, and it looks like the next gen MK4 is even better in terms of speed/print quality. I really want a printer with multi-material capabilities, but haven't found the rig

Shapr3D for the iPad. I found it much easier to pick up compared to industrial-grade (and priced) CAD software. The touchscreen and pen tool felt more intuitive to me, compared to keyboard+mouse.

I have a Prusa MK3S too! The assembly documentation was excellent, some of the best technical writing I've encountered. What sort of objects are you printing/designing?

Oh that's interesting, I also have an aspirational collection of models that I probably won't print. When I do really need to print something, I'll usually search for a model (or tweak/make my own), then immediately prin
